Overview
The Science of Living-Abridged Edition
In this landmark work, Austrian psychiatrist Alfred Adler-founder of Individual Psychology-presents his core ideas about human behavior, personality development, and the challenges of everyday life. Drawing on years of clinical experience, The Science of Living offers a clear, practical framework for understanding how feelings of inferiority, striving for significance, and social connectedness shape who we are.
Accessible and humane, Adler explores topics such as love, work, family, and the education of children, showing how our beliefs about ourselves and our place in society guide the choices we make. Rejecting deterministic models of biology and Freudian theory, Adler emphasizes courage, social interest, and the creative power of the individual to shape their own life.
First published in 1929, The Science of Living remains a cornerstone of modern psychotherapy and self-development literature-compassionate, optimistic, and strikingly modern in its emphasis on personal growth and social contribution.
